A separate reservation for the Maratha community violates Articles 14 (right to equality) 21 (due process of law), says the top court.
A five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously declared a Maharashtra law which provides reservation benefits to the Maratha community, taking the quota limit in the State in excess of 50%, as unconstitutional.
